Phase I consists of the 31,684 square foot Building "A" along with the adjacent parking areas and landscape planters. The building will house classrooms, laboratories, office and conference areas, and a large auditorium. The second phase is planned to include three buildings (B, C and D) of which Building D is proposed for multi -tenant industrial uses.
